This matter was personally ordered by Emperor Liang Cheng. Xu Zhi didn't care, but the people on the Third Prince's side did care a lot. In recent years, the Third Prince had fewer and fewer ways to make money, but he needed money for more and more things. Xu Zhi's money made him envious and even more resentful. He couldn't understand why Xu Zhi, an outsider, could receive such favor from his father, the Emperor.
The Third Prince's hatred for Xu Zhi was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. He was truly determined to kill Xu Zhi in Miaozhou. However, Xu Zhi's guards usually protected her meticulously, and the only opportunity to strike was this flood.
Granny Li and the other martial arts practitioners disguised as old women had all come before the flood. Granny Li, in particular, had already arrived at the Chu family in Miaozhou before Xu Zhi even reached Miaozhou, and had been following Madam Chu around ever since. Before leaving, Madam Chu assigned her to be by Zhao Shi's side.
After Ah Yin, Ah Tong, and another guard heading to Dengzhou left Miaozhou, the people sent by the Third Prince to meet them had just arrived halfway.

Meanwhile, Ah Yin and Ah Tong, carrying Wu Muyue's letter, went to several sects and then led the sect elders to rush to Miaozhou. At this time, although Miaozhou was an isolated city in a vast ocean, it was a gathering place for many assassins. No one knew when the next wave of assassins would arrive. Wu Muyue had repeatedly instructed them to hurry to Miaozhou after the letter was delivered. These people could now be considered Xu Zhi's helpers.
Upon receiving Xu Zhi's letter, Xu Di was utterly astonished. He never expected that the Third Prince would go to such lengths for Xu Zhi's life. He couldn't care less about anything else at this moment. He immediately sent the guards he could to Miaozhou. After writing a memorial to the court, he led a large amount of disaster relief supplies behind the guards and sped towards Miaozhou.
Many years later, neither the people involved in Miaozhou at the time nor people from other places could have imagined that Miaozhou would become the fuse for many things.
